Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen The Doctor rifles through a locker looking for clothes, we see him momentarily admiring a long scarf. Doctor Who (1963)'s Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, wore a long scarf in his regular costume.
- GoofsAt the start of the movie, when The Seventh Doctor seals The Master's remains shut with the sonic screwdriver, the head of the screwdriver is slightly out of focus. This is explained in a 2005 interview by Sylvester McCoy; he was holding it the wrong way around.
- Quotes
The Doctor: Wait, I remember. I'm with my father, we're lying back in the grass, it's a warm Gallifreyan night...
Grace: Gallifreyan?
The Doctor: Gallifrey. Yes, this must be where I live. Now where is that?
Grace: I've never heard of it. What do you remember?
The Doctor: A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with lights. Purple, green, brilliant yellow. Yes!
Grace: What?
The Doctor: These shoes. They fit perfectly!
- Crazy creditsThe UK television broadcast ended with a dedication to Jon Pertwee, the third actor to play the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963) (and one of the most popular), who had died a week earlier.
- Alternate versionsThe version broadcast and released on video by the BBC in 1996 had the following cuts (totalling 1 min 6 secs):
- The caption "Based on the original series broadcast by the BBC" is removed, although no footage is edited.
- Chang Lee's gang firing at the departing car.
- Chang Lee's two friends being shot.
- The third and fourth gunmen aiming at Chang Lee.
- The gunmen firing at the TARDIS.
- The operating scene is heavily edited with many cuts of Grace and her attempts to retrieve the probe from the Doctor's body. The sound of the Doctor's final scream was also removed.
- A closeup of Chang Lee's neck being twisted and the sound of Bruce's wife's neck snapping. These cuts were waived for the 2001 DVD release.

Featured review
Just suppose the film had been a reasonable success and maybe gained 10 million viewers in the United States, not that I agreed at all with a US co-production. £3.3 m is not a lot of money, even in 1996 for the BBC themselves to fork out.
According to Bidding Adeau, there would have been at least 6 other films. Perhaps the next set in the future on a space station penned by Terry Nation? Maybe another with The Cybermen and one with the Daleks?
I think if the TV series in 2005 works. There should be in parallel like DS9 ran along with Voyager, there should be an attempt to fill the gaps without running into Attack of the Cybermen syndrome. Maybe a few McGann films to see what happens between him and Christopher Eccleston's first appearance.
The half-human thing and kiss can be all but forgotten. A new TARDIS set.
If anything I would like to see more of McGann's Doctor. In that rape programme Lying he looked fantastic, still young enough.
